With Red Flag Reporting, other than a few minor options, everything is included in your quoted annual fee. The price in your proposal is the price you pay, so you can budget with confidence. For a closer look at the charges buyers often run into elsewhere, see our guide to [the hidden fees in whistleblower software](https://www.redflagreporting.com/best-whistleblowing-software-7-extra-fees/).

Here’s what you get, no matter which plan fits your organization. ### Reporting Channels for Employees People report concerns in different ways, so every plan includes a full set of options: - Live operators available 24/7/365, with multilingual capabilities - A mobile-responsive, QR code accessible, multilingual web portal - Email reporting - Mail reporting - Fax reporting Learn more about how our [hotline services](https://www.redflagreporting.com/services/) help employees report concerns anonymously or openly. ### Robust Case Management Our [case management platform](https://www.redflagreporting.com/case-management-solutions-for-compliance/) is built in, not sold separately. Your team can track, manage, and resolve reports in one intuitive system, communicate with reporters while protecting their anonymity, and review trends to spot recurring risks early. ### Comprehensive Employee Roll-Out Plan A hotline only works if employees know it exists and trust it. Every plan includes a comprehensive roll-out plan with ready-made onboarding literature and videos that fit into your existing communications, so you can launch with ease. ## Flexible Terms With Pricing You Can Count On The real cost of an ethics hotline includes more than the first invoice. Contract length and renewal pricing matter just as much, and that’s where Red Flag Reporting stands apart. ### One-Year Contracts Some providers require three- to five-year commitments. Our term is only one year, so you’re never locked into a long agreement before you’ve seen the value for yourself. ### No Surprise Increases We don’t quote a low fee in year one and then add large increases in the years that follow. The pricing you start with is pricing you can plan around. ### Lock In Your Rate for Three Years Want even more predictability? While we only require a one-year contract, we’ll lock in your low fee for three years upon request. ## Whistleblower Hotline Costs for Small Organizations A professional, third-party hotline isn’t only for large enterprises. Smaller organizations get the same reporting channels, case management, and roll-out support included in every plan, along with the flexibility of a one-year term. For some organizations, a hotline is a legal requirement. For others, it is a smart choice. Publicly traded companies must provide confidential, anonymous reporting for accounting and auditing concerns under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Private companies, nonprofits, and smaller employers usually adopt a hotline by choice, to surface issues before they grow, protect their people, and show they take ethics seriously.
